Better late than never!

Anyway, I've been super busy. Busier than "normal" which is pretty busy. So, I guess better late than never right!!? My spring/summer/fall is pretty much named, "Busy," "Busier," and "Busiest." Although the Arctic Circle Spring Festival is keeping me BUSIEST right now.

She had a "rainbow" party. Because rainbow parties are easy to put together! You buy colorful toys and you decorate with all the colors of the rainbow. Easy! Easy is my friend when I'm busy!

The bane of my existence was this skirt. I'll never again try to make something that I saw on TV/Blogs/Etsy, I'll just buy it. It seriously took me like three hours to do all the stupid layers of tulle. Layer upon layer upon layer. But...it's OK cause she was pretty cute in it!

Thankfully I did NOT have to make a cake because we have a talented cake maker/decorator who will take your theme and run with it. It was perfect.

Even the inside was perfect!

I did though, make this Broken Glass Jello . It was pretty easy once I got the hang of it. Luckily I have two fridges in my two kitchens so one is always available to do six pans of jello at once!

She had a BLAST. Her 28 friends had a blast... (Yes, we made 29 party bags and there was ONE left over!) Shoot, even the parents had a blast watching "Musical Paper" and Eskimo Bingo! We had several Crafts to do as well like painting fingernails,

*Warning...

You're happening upon an Eskimo Blog above the Arctic Circle. If you didn't already know, Eskimo's kill animals and then take care of them and then eat them. Chances are you'll see blood, guts, knives and guns on this blog. There are also pretty big chances you'll see cute little animals before and after they're killed. If you don't like that kind of stuff, go buy your meat from Costco or something. Cause this FinnSkimo LOVES meat. Especially the kind that's all natural and taken care of by me. :)There are lots of other stuff on here too. Sewing, Baking, Snow, and Midnight Sun if you care to stay. Thanks for visiting.

About Me

I'm the oldest of three Original Finnskimo's. Half Inupait Eskimo and half Finnish. My mom's People are dark skinned, dark eyed, and dark haired nomadic hunters who live in the tundra and subsist off the surrounding wildlife and greens. My dad's People are fair skinned, blond haired, blue eye'd skiers who moved around the world following my grandfather's jobs logging.
I meet in the middle. I grew up in a sod-ish house, one room, honey bucket and showered at the local Recreation Center on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We rarely ate meat bought from the store. I learned to sew skins and cloth at an early age, and spent every summer at our fish camp.
My life isn't that exciting, to me...but to you, it might be! I live a hectic and fast paced life trying to keep up with my kids, husband, and friends.
My husband, an avid outdoorsman and pilot, our mixed family of kids and dogs and I live in Kotzebue, Alaska located 30 miles above the Arctic Circle where you have to fly in or out to see us. We love it here, but we LOVE to leave to "America" too!

Personal and Confidential Information

All information posted on this blog is personal and confidential. Unless of course you happen to stumble on it Googling "Eskimo Bingo" or "Sarah Palin" cause, come on, lets be honest, you did. This is a personal blog. If you're a member of PETA, congratulations, so am I. But my PETA stands for "People for the Eating of Tasty Animals." So, lets not get into a fight, cause lets face it, I have lots of guns and I'm an Eskimo. So pretty much that already makes me cooler than you, so just back off. The information about my children and my family is meant to enlighten you about our lives way up here in Kotzebue. Also...don't take anything too seriously, you could cause yourself to have a heart attack. It's so not worth throwing a hissy fit over the killing of a few animals to feed and clothe my family. And make good Blog banter. Lastly, any information taken from this blog without permission, will end up with me sicking my attack lab on you whose only job it is to protect this blog. Anyone who has a problem with mouse killers: Just stop right there, take a bubble bath or something. If you're REALLY mad, then talk to my mouse lawyer. I already have a case pending in mouse court, so we'll just add to the charges. ENJOY! Oh, one last thing: Eskimo's don't live in Igloo's.
